    (Napata College, 2021) Aisha Adam Saad; Rafa Alhadry Ali; Hibatallah Bdraldeen Altegani
    Background and objectives: Neonatal jaundice affects one in two infants globally. The jaundice is the result of an accumulation of bilirubin as fetal hemoglobin is metabolized by the immature liver. High serum levels of bilirubin result in lethargy, poor feeding and kernicterus of the infant. The main aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of neonatal jaundice and to explore its associated risk factors and management Materials and methods: This institution based cross-sectional study was conducted to at neonatal intensive care unit of Omdurman Maternity Hospital during first 6 months of 2019. A sample of 102 neonates was selected for the study purpose. The data was collected using a data collection sheet. Data was analyzed using SPSS v24. Results: The majority of the mothers (64.7%) were from urban areas, 82.7% of the births took place in a health facility, and 50% gave birth via spontaneous vaginal delivery (SVD). Mothers were mostly (44.1%) of type AB blood group. The majority of the neonates were males (53.9%). 66.7% were born at 37-42 weeks. The major treatment for increased serum bilirubin were IVIg (48%) and phototherapy (29.4%). The Serum bilirubin levels were high at 10-22 5mg/dl. Having mothers from rural areas (p=0.00), multiple pregnancies(p=0.00), born at home (p=0.01) and caesarean section delivery (p=0.02) were positively associated with neonatal jaundice. Conclusion: Place of living, multiple pregnancy, place of delivery, and mode of delivery were associated with neonatal jaundice. IVIg and phototherapy were the major treatments for neonatal jaundice. The study recommended provision of access to prenatal and postnatal services, particularly in rural areas, and use of phototherapy as the initial therapy to treat hyperbilirubinemia.

    (Napata College, 2021) Abdulaziz Al-bashir Yousif; Mahgoub Mohammed Elhassan Faragalla; Einass Ezzeldeen Syed Taha
    Background: Vaccine hesitancy is a complex public health issue referring to concerns about the safety, efficacy or need for vaccination. There is a huge gap of information about the vaccine hesitancy, beliefs and barriers associated with COVID-19 vaccination among the general population in Sudan. Therefore, this study aimed to contribute to filling this gap by investigating the perception and awareness of Sudanese towards the intake of COVID-19 vaccine and determine the underpinning believes. Materials and Methods: An online, cross-sectional, and self-administered questionnaire was instrumentalized to survey adult participants from Sudan on the acceptability of COVID-19 vaccine. Results: Total of participants were 369, (133 were males and 236 were females). The public acceptability of COVID-19 vaccines was (64.4%) in Sudan. Vaccination (“Accept” and “Not accept”) to COVID-19 vaccine was predicting through a logistic regression model (Y=2.963+0.641*Agegroups+0.147*Gender+0.484*Educationallevel+0.070*Area+0.449*Chronic illness-0.071*Belief score (%)). The model revealed that Belief score (%) was statistically significant with p-value of respectively 0.210, 0.617, 0.307and 0.295. The area of living was not value of 0.000001. Age, gender, education level and chronic illness despite their contribution to the model were not statistically significant (p=0.885) and contribution to the model was minimum with 0.070. Conclusions: A high prevalence of refusal and hesitancy about COVID-19 vaccination in Sudanese population was observed in the study. The safety concern seemed to be the main reason for the unwillingness to accept vaccines.

    PHYTOCHEMICAL COMPOSITION, ANTIOXADANT a n d ANTIMICROBIAL OF Calotropis procera (AIT.) LEAVES
    (Napata College, 2021) Omer Bashir Khlefa; Shaza Eltayeb Mohammed; Muzdalifah Abdellah Abdrazig
    The world is fertile with natural and medicinal plants, which are now more focused than ever, because they have the capability of producing many benefits to society, indeed to mankind, especially in the line of medicine and pharmacology. The medicinal power of these plants lie in phytochemical constituents that cause definite pharmacological actions on the human body. Calotropis procera (Ait.) leaves, from Asclepiadaceae family is a medicinal plant, which has been used for centuries as a traditional medicinal plant in different countries. This study aimed to the determination of chemical composition and evaluation of two pharmacological activities; antioxidant, and antimicrobial. Macerated methanolic extract was prepared.and then Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy profiling was done.GC-MS revealed a total of eleven compounds which were identified in the methanolic extract ranging from fatty acids and alkane compounds. The major constituents were– Phytol (26.60%), Tridecanoic acid (22.07%), and 9-Hexadecenoic acid(17.50%). The antioxidant properties of the methanolic extract was screened using DPPH assay, and compared with Propyl gallate as standard. Methanolic extract showed significant scavenging activity (46±0.00), but revealed percentage inhibition lower than that obtained by Propyl gallate (92±0.01). The disc diffusion method was employed to explore the antimicrobial activity of methanolic leaf extract agamicrobs ,the extract proved to be an efficient antimicrobial agent. The highest zone of inhibition observed was 19 mm obtained by P.aeruginosa ,whereas the less effective was against B.subtillis (12mm)at the concentration 10%,with the Staandard deviation(1.414) The important role that C.procera plants play in folk medicine has led us to develop this study in order to investigate the major pharmacological activities, so this plant can be used in future as a valuable source of pharmacologically active antioxidants, antimicrobial agents.
